Nestled in the heart of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, this brass structure mirrors the cylindrical shape of the spiral staircase at the monument’s base to create a compact guard post. Double-leaf glass doors, also in brass, maximise the use of this confined space. The project is part of a wider National Monuments Centre programme to upgrade public reception areas in around thirty monuments.
